Salam brothers, my query is about fuel average of prado tz. As i drove it from multan to lahore through motorway. The average speed was 160 to 170 and the fuel average i got was 6.5 km/l. While coming back set it to cruise at speed of 120 within eco range and this time i got average of 8.6km/l. So my querybis should i need to get it checked or its fine. I would like to add that tuning with oil change was done & fuel was high octane. Thanx
Would you mind telling the model of your Prado TZ 4.0?
I think it's fine. You don't need to get it checked, because unless it is giving you any trouble, messing with it will start giving you more trouble.
The rest is your choice.I hope it helps.
2013 model
Toyota claims 12.5L/100 km which is 7.93 km/L for a 4.0 Prado so your Prado is averaging more than that no need to do anything its perfectly fine.
Thanx brother
Fahad bro, one more question. As i mentioned in my thread that while driving at continuously 150 to 170, i got average of 6.5. So, still it is ok?
Yes its fair enough actually at high speed wind resistance increases sharply causing lower fuel mileage specially when riding an SUV as it has more air resistance due to its overall height.
Your Prado’s fuel economy is very impressive and you don’t need any mechanic to mess up the engine. If I’m not wrong 2013 4.0 is 5 speed or 6 speed? Because my Hilux SR5 won’t give me more than 5.5km/l in city driving between the range of 2-3000 rpm. I think maybe its 4 speed auto thats why.
More then excellent if true ! Although I don't completely agree Bcoz on 160/170 u said 6.5 which isn't possible Under 110 u may have 7
